That's cool, i actually like it. But I think i'd like the 06 GTO they cannibalized to build it better. No aircon in Florida is a dealbreaker for me..
Built by a guy that goes by BodeVision on the Youtube machine, it's a nice build. He's a pretty talented body and paint guy.
That's pretty cool - I like it
That first photo gives me serious early-'90s Mustang GT vibes.
As a former owner of an Accord of that generation.... I have no words. It's amazing.
Does anyone know where that hood bump came from?

Hada few honda beaters back then , and a nice crx-si. Never liked that body Accord. Till 2 minutes ago!

My brother had one–white over blue. No V6 or turbo, though.

No, it was right. It was back when all you had on your desk was a phone and a pad of paper.
The secretary would be told to get him ON the horn or actually; get him ON the phone.

I would hope with the rise of electric HVAC systems we could add that in more often with engine swaps. Maybe even located in a sub-trunk area, with external cooling vent scoops!

I looked into this. They need 24 or 48 volts to be effective. 12v just can't be made to work unless if was an absolutely tiny space.
